Critical Analysis of Water Pollution: Its Consequences and Management in Jind District (Haryana)

Water pollution means the mixing of harmful substances into water. When natural and man -made pollutants mix with surface and underground water of various water sources (river, lake, stream, ocean, aquifer, or other water body), the water becomes polluted and becomes unhealthy for drinking. The main aim of this research work is to analyze water pollution, its effects, and management in Jind district of Haryana. This study is based on primary and secondary statistics. Human activities are the main reasons for water pollution. Polluted water poisons the natural and human environment. The majority of the population of Haryana state lives in rural areas. Water pollution is promoted due to an excess of primary economic activities (agriculture, animal husbandry, mining, etc.). According to the perception of the people in the research area, the main causes of water pollution are increasing population, toilet pits, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, domestic and animal waste, underground storage leakage, and other human activities. Various environmental and human problems are occurring in the district as a result of polluted water. Considering the severity of these growing problems, it is necessary to manage polluted water. Contaminated water can be controlled by creating awareness among rural people regarding water pollution and adopting water purification methods. This research work presents detailed information related to water pollution scenarios, effects, and management in the context of Jind district. It is hoped that this research work will prove to be helpful in providing analytical information to policy makers and future researchers regarding water pollution in the study area (Jind).
